John 5:31-40 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.… The Bible is some- times used as a book of magic. Many open it at random, expecting to be guided by the first passage that they see, as Peter was told to open the mouth of the first fish that came up and he would find in it a piece of money. A missionary of high standing was cured of this superstition by consulting the Bible in an important matter of Christian duty, and the passage that met his gaze was, "Hell from beneath is moved to meet thee at thy coming." (J. M. Buckley, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. |
